So, I just launched my first crewed mission on a hard career game. I totally forgot I had USI-LS mod installed, and didn't send any food with the mission. Now my capsule is spinning around Gael (starter planet for Galileo's Planet Pack) with Jeb as a "tourist".
I like my games to be hard, so I plan on changing the configuration to set the starvation status to KIA, but right now, I'd like to get Jeb back home.
The only problem is... how. I didn't add any LS modules to the vessel, so there's no empty "supplies" resource bar, and as far as I can tell, this also means there is no way for me to get fresh supplies onto the vessel. Furthermore, since EVA isn't possible, I can't just send up a new ship and have Jeb transfer to the one with supplies. I also can't lower the ship into a suborbital trajectory, because I can't control the ship, so I can't steer it downward, or enable the parachutes if I have some other ship push it downwards.
Is there any "in-game" way of solving this problem? Or should I just accept this one-time slip up, edit the save-game to resupply the ship, and then change the config to have it be a KIA situation next time?
